Star Wars Nuggets Search Tool

A modern Chrome extension for quickly searching Star Wars Nuggets videos, YouTube, Google, and Wookieepedia from one fast popup.

This is a direct upgrade for the original YouTubeSearchChromeExtension repository. It keeps the original idea — searching your YouTube channel videos — but updates the extension to Manifest V3 and adds a polished interface, saved history, settings, latest-video feed loading, context-menu search, and omnibox support.

What changed

• Upgraded from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3.
• Replaced browser_action with the modern action API.
• Split inline HTML/CSS/JavaScript into separate extension-safe files.
• Replaced the old Google Feed / YouTube GData code with the modern YouTube RSS uploads feed.
• Added local Chrome storage for settings and search history.
• Added search targets:
  • Star Wars Nuggets channel search
  • YouTube search
  • Google search
  • Wookieepedia search
• Added shortcuts in the search box:
  • !sw clone wars searches the channel
  • !yt clone wars searches all YouTube
  • !g clone wars searches Google
  • !w clone wars searches Wookieepedia
• Added right-click context menu search for selected text.
• Added omnibox keyword search: type swn, press Space/Tab, then enter your search.
• Added keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Y / Command+Shift+Y opens the popup.
• Added a settings/options page.
• Added light/dark theme support.
• Added improved search history with run/remove/clear actions.
• Added local icons and local placeholder fan art.
